so crazy cant wait till i have my own video made on my downfall
You got one week left lil bro
So true
how is this not popular
fr
Same, how is this not popular?
Space was honestly someone a lot of players looked up to. So sad how this is how it all turned out 😔
i agree
Hopefully zoink don’t end up like this
@@BuffedAcheron i wish it would have been zoink rather than space. p sure thats everyone tho
It was all too good to be true from the get-go.
I looked up to him, he was so popular and so good, I always wanted to be like him.
There's literally no excuse for what he did. People keep glazing what happened by saying "He did it to troll us" "He just got bored, what a legend 🤓"
He took the spotlight from so many legit players who actually put a shit ton of effort on this game just because ""He was bored"'" and lied for years.
For real, I still somewhat respect him for apologizing but you can’t call him a LEGEND, that’s just plain wrong
The people saying that he just did a little trolling probably said it before we found out none of his achievements were even real
@@gillboygd its not even that true that he apologized, it was more like a cover up, since he only admitted to hacking recent stuff because of "boredom", I think that fake apology was straight up malicious, but thats just what I believe
He hurt this commodore much. He not only stole the spotlight from doggie with slaughter house, but also with the 2022 he awards, as well as trick with firework only being top 1 for 7 seconds because of space, but again the 2021 gd awards
@@gillboygd honestly he lied every chance he got right up to the end. He had no choice but to apolagized
The watermark I added on a whim 2 years ago was a complete joke for both list teams for so long, turns out it paid off in the most unexpected way LOL
Such an unintentionally genius decisions lmao
How am I 2nd lol?
Is it toggleable? Could cheaters disable this and get away with it?
@@defenestratorr no it isnt
The creator of ZBOT???
this is just a sad situation, and the fact some people still say "oh he was just bored" and downplay it irks me severely. on the bright side, Vortrox 100k soon?

Agreed
I like money😊
Yoo hi wavix
Yes 100k soon
If I had a nickel for every time a GD player got exposed, I’d have way too many nickels to count

It’s like Karl jobst says: cheaters don’t cheat to get something they can’t achieve, they cheat to get it faster
Schmooey
I honestly dont even know if I trust space saying his hardest is Kenos. Keep in my mind he tried to keep up his reputation for as long as possible.

@@chryst4l926 yup
@@chryst4l926he definitely didn’t beat kenos. Naked attempt to hold onto something that proves he’s top level. Obvious lie
Karl jobst is making a video about this exact situation btw
This news really sucks man. All Geometry Dash history for the past 2 years has to be changed now...
so true lil bro
My mind is blown 😳
It is stupid how he got away with so many things like demonlist mods should check top 1-10 completions WAY more than what they did... It is kinda interesting at the same time how he got away so long with no one realising
yep
True man
The fact he did up to the golden 96% legit then hacked everything is kind of sad, he could have went so far as he was a very skilled player.
He did have potential, sad to see it go to waste :(
If he didn't accidentally turn on noclip, he could have had a lot of potential.
You never know really, that could be a lie too, after all of this
@@astroh4936 yeah but I mean if fnm saw him play kyouki he had to be at least a little good at the game, and idk if they checked the footage of those before he deleted his channel (most likely not). This story seems believable but then for your point it also was believable that he would hack after he quit the game when he beat the main list.
@@Salpalalo ikr
This was actually sad to see, because not only did he lied about everything, but his entire career was just a joke for us. I'm not saying i'm mad at spaceuk though, it's just, why would he do this to the community?
EDIT: He tricked the mods into approving his records on main list levels? What a shame. But right now, he's beaten Tartarus and The Golden as his hardest, but that still wouldn't get back the good reputation he once had. Huge L tho.
You have every right to be mad at SpaceUK
Hello, I like money
for permission to scratch his ass
We put faith on Spaceuk but Spaceuk threw it away like it's nothing ofc im mad for supporting a fraud cheater
he said it himself, *he was bored*
I actually thought SpaceUK was a legitimate player. It was never a thought in my mind that he might be cheating, so this was very surprising to see. And it's really messed up how much money he made off of cheating and lying to the whole community, it's straight up careless.
My thoughts exactly. I’m not even as mad about the money he made rather than the attention he kept from actual top players (which I guess can sort of go hand in hand). Taking the best player awards from Trick and Doggie and taking the #1 spot on the list from Doggie Crisis Wolves really upsets me, and also betraying the trust of people who thought he was their friend
@@prod.7aco194 Yeah I agree, I would feel really bad cheating and betraying people and ruining things for others and I don't know how he kept cheating for so long knowing he was betraying everyone
is spaceuk trans? lol
@@brutpenta?
@@brutpenta that has nothing to do with this
Spaceuk was personally one of my fav gd youtuber. The fact he shows up to the community and overtook everyone so quickly. I was genuinely impressed how gifted he was and absolutely admired his talent. He became my motivation to play gd again. But now... it's just sad to see. Im not even mad, just disappointed very much
Truly sad how someone who can get exposed and fall so fast
Wdym “so fast?” He was doing this for a while and until now he was caught
@@AtlasGamingChaos I think what they meant was that as soon as you're exposed you get cancelled almost immediately. But it is true he wasn't caught for a while
yeah no shit
@@buzzybees8604 Bro He did Not Get Cancelled LOL He Hacked Everything And Made Thousands of Dollars Off Lies and in the end he Got what He deserved LOLOL
@@user-rg5us3hm1m I agree with your point but PLEASE stop capitalising every first letter of every word
Space uk was technically the most popular showcaser
lol
i think the most heartbreaking part is that they didn’t really care that they got exposed it was just “i lost interest”. ty for the video!
The thing with him not verifying Slaughterhouse kinda reminds me about what happened with Zodiac, where the first victor became the verifier after the original verifier admitted to hacking.
Yep very similar
@@Vortrox whats ur fav extreme demon to play when your bored
@@7615006 sonic wave, sakupem circles
@@7615006 can't let go
except xander didn't try to lie his way out of it and he didn't earn thousands of pounds and he wasn't considered the best player
One of my favorite experiences that I have in Gd was actually with SpaceUK. I remember I discovered space right around the time where we had 30-40% on The Golden and he was maybe averaging 5-15 viewers per stream. I was making a small mega collab with friends that was way to hard for any of us to beat, I believe it was an Erebus remake. Anyways after we completed the gameplay I asked Space if he would consider verifying once decoration was completed and he said he would consider it if the level looked good enough. Well after some demotivation and burnout on making the collab it never got finished but I still have that discord DM saved to my camera roll
He would've used zbot but very nice
The difficulty jump from Decode to Windyland scape to Wasureta and later gaining 96% on The golden is absolutely impressive for your 1st top 5 demon
I highly have a feeling even with out a hack he still being able to become GD Best player if he was serious about it. But sadly he decided to used hack... What a wasted potential...
Maybe not the best but def a top player
fr 😢
Unless Decode wasn’t actually his first demon. It’s pretty easy to lie. For all we know he could have already been on Wasu by that point
@@noaht2005exactly he couldve restarted
And you still believe him, man those simps never learn
Only 600 attempts on can’t let go?! Na bros a god
It's been like 4 seconds since it happened and bro released an entire ass documentary 🥶
Hustlin'
This is really sad to me. I look up to top players for motivation to play... so seeing the best of the best destroy himself through hacking is devastating.
"Pro players don't hack to achieve accomplishments. They hack to achieve accomplishments faster."
Imagine getting ratted out of a community because of 64 pixels 💀
But the Method💀
What a crazy turn of events. I could've never expected something like this would happen
I'm honsetly really sad that this would all happen without knowing. Space was the reason i came back to gd because of Slaughterhouse, it breaks my heart seeing this all happen :((((. I hope we can learn about this and try to give other players the recognition they deserve!!!
When did you first start gd?

@@KhjjnJustDance nice, I first ever played in 2017 then I came back for a lil bit in 2021, then I started playing for real again in late 2021
Yeah about this… y’all remember cyclic? Well… this is kinda the same don’t you think?
@@HurricaneKXZ yes it is everyone knows that
I really looked up to Space, honestly. He made me persevere and challenge myself to beat something I thought I couldn't. But now, because of this, the entire community is in shambles.

@@kriaz9916 I dont even know if I believe him on the golden
I absolutely love how Doggie was trying to verify slaughterhouse and then spaceuk was like “yoink” and took it from him and then he gets exposed, so that means that after slaughterhouse was “verified” Doggie got the first victor after “verification” meaning he verified it since spaceuk hacked, so basically it’s like a uno reverse card we didn’t know existed
Yoink? Did you mean "Zoink"? 😂 (Get it?)
@@CindersGD it was a good joke except the laughing emoji and the (get it?) ruined it
@Jemz I mean we can all have opinions
Out of all my years of playing video games, this is quite possibly one of the most shocking things to come out of it. This is genuinely sad to hear.
One of? This is the biggest scandal ever in gd
@@diamondking169 cyclics was arguably bigger
@@lolololololololololololilooo easily imo
@@lolololololololololololilooo I really don’t know how that is possible. Yeah it was huge but space messed up so many things and it is going to be a long time just how much damage he has caused
@@lolololololololololololilooo riot was considered by many as better, and cyclic was never really considered in a league of his own, and definitely not like spaceuk was thought to be. spaceuk claimed he would be the next nswish. the next god, far better than everyone else. everyone knows the cyclic and riot rivalry. but spaceuk had no rivals. so he carried on earning thousands of pounds and pretending he knew how hard levels were, lying. he hasn't apologised. also, when cyclic was exposed for the hell zone and sonic wave he immediately said he hacked everything. space tried to lie and say "i beat the main list legit tho" which was surprise surprise a lie
cyclic cared, spaceuk profited
..guys don't search up "Doggie Slaughterhouse"
Why not
@@Yutumebro_originalthink about it
This feels like a repeat of Cyclic.
- Top player turns out to be hacker
- Is genuinely good at the game, but still hacked (Cyclic came back to beat levels legit iirc)
- "Verified" a level so difficult it would have a large legacy and broke the difficulty barrier
- Stole some honorable spots from other top players (like first victor)
Differences: Cyclic confessed, Space was exposed. SpaceUK was a massive narcissist on Twitter. Cyclic stood in striking distance from riot which made riot better overall, SpaceUK stood as unreachable, discouraging many player.
Firework was actually the demon that dethroned tartarus, it was #1 for 18 seconds
we all know this man will get 100k subs soon
He honestly is the modern cyclic, except for the fact that he didn’t even confess himself
Truly one of the moments of all time.
Glad I didn't pick Space to verify Centipede.
hi again buddy
good choice
Since today, I think NoctaFly's case was the most shocking for me
I have beaten clubstep in 6727 attempts I’m so proud of myself!
gg
@@mmeo976 I don’t really care. He beat an extreme demon in less than 1000 attempts. And I can barely beat deadlocked.
@@mmeo9761:44 I’m sharing my connection to this.
Unfortunate A lot of us myself included; loved this player, respected; and DEFINITELY looked up to him along with other Top players like Doggie and Zoink and such. But now this? Damn 8/
Been praying for his downfall ever since he "quit" gd and had his demonlist profile deleted only to return 2 days later and beg for it to be reinstated
My life has been a lie. I considered him the second coming of nSwish, maybe even overtaking him, I looked up to him as a GD player. I followed and admired him. This is devastating.
2:28 HOLY SHIT the nostalgia (sea1997)
Yessir!
@@Vortrox hey what song is this?
I don't even think he completed Kenos or Wasureta or jumped from easy demons.
He said his hardest is still kenos
petition to make 940px a meme
idgaf about spaceuk but that HW velocity X ost at the start of the video is so good
This explains why he has literally no reaction when he beats a level.
His real hardest was Tartarus, and he also beat more main list demons. meaning nowadays he would actually be around 250 on the demon list for all his real achievements if he never hacked.
So he could’ve still been a good player if he never hacked
If he told the demonlist that he accidentally noclipped the golden, he probably would’ve beaten it legitimately and then he would’ve been a good player
Bro pulled a cyclic 💀
the developer of zbot is a genius and legend for sliding that little endscreen trick in. unfortunately that will only work once
Worked for the biggest scandal at least though
I actually cannot believe moist critical reacted to this LMAO
I am actually not surprised at all. I have seen lots of ppl getting exposed for many things and so this doesn't make me impressed. I just hope he improves in the future

This has made me really anxious about other top players being outed as hackers. You never know
This just in: Man gets his career destroyed because of 600 pixels
Jokes aside though, the fact that a hacking scandal this big happened is still so unreal to me. It’s also the fact that due to this, so much of history for the past 2 years will have to be altered. He screwed up so many players in the stats viewer who could have been/remained at #1 (RG, Spirtex, Crisis, Wolvez, Jeller, ThunderBT), Trick and Doggie TWICE because of Slaughterhouse and the gd awards, the list placements when Slh still reigned (could be before that), and most notably how people are going to be able to trust top players

@@TYsdrawkcaB LOL WTF MY IRL JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS
I come back after a 1 day break from geometry dash and see this…
This is actually crazy. I really thought he was a prodigy and one of the best legitimate players ever!
Trivia: Did you know that when spaceuk got exposed, he changed his nation to Pakistan so that he can ban Pakistan from gd as he once got called a cheater by a Pakistani gd player and those rumours reached msg and fnm04 which lead to SpaceUk getting exposed. Thus, Pakistan was gd's biggest hero ever.
It really sucks when the cheater has real talent but decides to take the wrong route. Kinda like the rabbit and the turtle. Cliche ik
Correction: SpaceUK jumped to Leyak from Windy Landscape, and then Wasureta was his next.
I feel bad for space, but at the same time, not really. Thank you for covering this, vortrox ❤
Feel bad for space???
I don't feel bad for space at all, he earned so much money just by hacking and stole the recognition from the real legitimate hard- working GD players.
My biggest question is: why so many people give a shit about a level topping the extreme demon difficulty, when in reality prolly 3 people can do it? Let's just play playable levels.
Welcome to GD News!
This is like cyclic all over again.
I hope he doesn't get harassed too much.
GD lore is the best lore, i wasn't expecting this plot twist tbh.
Let's see what happens in the next episode.
0:08 "for being the best player in the year"
*Zoink being 1 percent ahead of him*
I don't think SpaceUK fully understood the terrible effects of hacking levels in the first place. This affected those who worked their butts off to completing top 100 demons and trying to be the first verifiers. It took away so many achievements from Doggie, such as the Slaughterhouse verifier and best gd player of 2022. SpaceUK abused the zbot to earn lots of money and fame from others who truely deserved it. I hope for the best that we'll keep a better eye on those who have the potential of hacking from now on. Congrats to Doggie and others for rightfully getting the fame that they deserved.
He said that the money he got from the stolen verifications and first victors will go to the people who deserve it.
@@diamondking169 Even paying money to the first victors, in my opinion, still doen't closely justify the amount of time and effort they put into trying to be the first victors. Doggie was incredibly bumped for a long time that he failed to be the first victor of Slaughterhouse.
This situation is identical to the Clone Hero player Schmooey haha. Everything from insane growth, new community heights, stealing true first evers from others, it's crazy that this happened to two different communities only a little over a year apart.
Posted this a few times under a few vids but it sums up my thoughts perfectly
Back in march of 2021, i was hella sus of him. The golden in 50k attempts when his top 3 hardest was wasu, leyak and WL didnt seem reasonable to me. i told a few friends my thoughts and how sus it looks but was brushed off and told hes legit. Mind you they were better than me, so i just shut up and took there word for it cause im awful at gd. I can fucking believe i was right this entire time. We need higher standards for completions, and as much as i dont wanna say this, we may have to resort to having them on stream use both a monitor cam and a keyboard cam to show every single input they do. Streams mean nothing at this point when you know how to play. its as simple as turning a macro on, clicking to it, and turning it off when you get far and having the bind far from the mic so it wont be picked up. It actually sickens me that he got away with it this long. I bet you theres at least 15 hackers in the top 100 on pointercrate atm cause of how easy it really is to get away with it now. Every single top player needs to be heavily looked into at this point to avoid something like this for now on. at least for the main list completions. ik its a hassle and time consuming but if the list TRULY did care about integrity and maintaining itself, they would have no issue triple checking every fucking record thats submitted to the list. its honestly pathetic and only further makes me loose faith in the list to begin with. for now on im not bothering with top players. I dont know who the fuck to trust at this rate. im just gonna play for my own personal goals and reasons and leave it at that.
honestly couldn't agree more, the list team always looked up to space and did whatever he said without question so they definitely need to get better at making sure top players are actually legit, also good decision playing for your own personal goals as most of the GD community is kinda a mess right now
ik im late but TRUE
i wonder if it'd be possible for someone to make a dedicated video for crisis? he was literally the best player in 2021 (completed top 18 and first victor of firework), but got overshadowed so hard by space.
Tbh vortrox,idk if you agree with me,but this scandal its far worst than Noctafly/Death Corridor situation,in my opinion,the demonlist had a scar since that exposing and now the list have won another one but worst than that,it shows that opened a gap,of how many other players have hacked their verifications and the lack of trust in the community its completely (i wouldnt say so low) bad. And it got worst after he won 2 times Best Player in GD awards,showing how much spotlights from other pro players (like doggie and trick),got stolen from it,they could remove spaceuk from the titles of 2021 and 2022 awards giving them to the other two mentioned,but i doubt it would be enough to close this page on geometry dash community.
I am in a state of deja vu rn. Cyclic was another Top 1 player that verified the hardest level at the time (Sonic Wave) using hacks. This was over seven years ago. time flies
And he robbed the title of first Cataclysm victor from GironDavid
I may not know Space as much, but it’s incredibly sad how these top 1 players are being revealed to be hackers. It’s generally sad how low the GD community is falling. Like, many popular players are being exposed to hacking or… *GuitarStyles* This will change GD forever. Who knows who’s a hacker unless they confess or pure evidence is found? Who’s next to be exposed?
It’s surprising to me no one saw this coming. I always had a feeling he was a hacker bcuz bro beat so many extreme demons in such a short amount of time
same here
So that means firework was top one for a month. Both doggie and trick had top ones, but no one knew.
space was like the messi of gd
an icon that most look up to
a prodigy with skill never seen before
until space was exposed
i have no idea how we didnt suspect him even tho he jumped from an easy to an insane
ok but no way he went from beating decode to beating windy landscape 💀 he had so much potential why did he throw that out the roof
absolutely insane quality content how tf you make this so fast

The fact that spaceUK hacked a lot of levels just impressed me, but honestly im more impressed for you making a video of this exactly 1 day after the expose XD
Spaceuks banner is _"your _*_LIE_*_ in _*_APRIL_*_ "_
Honestly I think space is still a good guy. He's let his past actions go by him. He is a great dude. Happy merry Halloween st Patrick's day!!!
I was blindsided by this news, I wasn’t around when the cyclic or noctafly stuff happened but imagine it was like this. This really says a lot about cheat detection too it needs to be improved dramatically

I’m happy to hear this! 😊
wow.. I didnt realise this! I actually looked up to spaceUK before this.
W zbot developer
Fr, that guy’s a genius 💀
I remember waking up and see “spaceUK hacked” and I couldn’t believe it
bro i made a shcool project on dis
YO WHAT
Imagine if spaceuk hadn’t started cheating and continued to play legit. Im 100% sure he could have become an actual legend.
i think this tells a very strong lesson that no matter how trustworthy someone may seem, everyone is capable of dishonesty.
paqoe took us to meet our hero, and now we wish she had done it earlier
he*
@@Bruhh221 nope, she. zoe (aka paqoe) is trans.
actually kolo was the one to originally expose him but everyone ignored him including the mods
In my opinion the saddest thing was that with enough dedication, he probably had the skill to do this legit. If he was telling the truth, his 4TH DEMON was Wasureta, followed by kenos, not to mention the 96 fail on the golden. Having Kenos as your fifth demon is insane. Sad to see that he resorted to hacks so quickly.
Another thing to mention is although he was a liar all those years, there were a few positive benefits. He did begin the new wave of highest difficulty with slaughterhouse, and also inspired other players to realise that level like that were even possible. It goes without saying that this does not outweigh the negatives (especially destroying other players motivations due to the massive 'skill difference'). Overall just a sad situation.
Congrats, Charlie reacted to ur video! Also yeah progressing that fast in GD seemed a little too good to be true.
I’m very upset he hacked more. Sure he hacked some insane stuff but it had me when he hacked the top 1 extreme demon more. Truly unacceptable.
